Delaware energy and electricity

Proposed regulation of third-party electricity prices, supplier reporting and consumer contracts; vetoed rather than enacted. Vetoed September 30, 2026; these provisions were proposed, not enacted by this bill. The complete retained history contains no override or later enactment. The original veto message has not been retained, so the governor’s reasons are not asserted. No measured change in prices, pay, spending or outcomes is established. The Section 218 exception concerned fines or imprisonment under that particular section for licensed individual electricity sales agents; it was not general immunity. The May 4 fiscal note predates House Amendment 1 and estimates administrative costs, not an appropriation or spending caused by the veto.

Final amended HS 1 for HB 233, enacted as Volume 85, Chapter 440, requires qualifying large energy users served by Commission-regulated utilities to obtain approved electric-service agreements and transmission security. It directs cost allocation, financial guarantees, curtailment protocols and an independent incremental-cost test to protect other customer classes. Facility thresholds, existing-facility treatment and curtailment exceptions apply. Tariff filings are tied to final regulations; specified load-shed requirements apply to loads interconnected after December 31, 2026. Approval does not prove completed regulations, bill credits, lower retail prices or lower inflation.

Section 6. This Act takes effect upon enactment.

Amends Executive Order 18 to authorize updates to the Delaware Permitting Accelerator with the governor’s written approval and consultation with affected agencies. Requires prompt online publication of the current version with its version number and effective date. Preserves the other provisions of Order 18 and states that the accelerator creates no enforceable private right. Projects already accepted that satisfy the version promulgated on this date are deemed eligible as of their original acceptance or designation. Updates require written approval, affected-agency consultation and prompt publication with a version and effective date. Previously accepted projects qualify only under the stated version conditions. Current published versions, individual approvals and implementation still need review. The chart does not isolate this action’s effect.

subject to the Governor's written approval

Implements the attached Delaware Permitting Accelerator for qualifying housing, mixed-use, energy, broadband, water and sewer projects. Establishes coordinated agency review, priority-project selection, a public dashboard and reporting. The original housing framework calls for determinations within 120 business days after application completeness, subject to documented extensions. Preserves statutory procedures, public participation, substantive environmental and safety standards, and local land-use authority. Order 23 later authorizes controlled updates; this record describes the original attached framework, not every later version or completed project. Source note: attachment section 4(h) refers to section 2(e) for mixed-use development, while the mixed-use definition is in section 2(d); no corrected legal cross-reference is inferred. Housing determinations generally run from application completeness, with documented extensions. Energy determinations generally allow 120 business days after completeness or the required hearing/comment close, and 180 for complex projects. Substantive laws, public participation and local land-use authority remain. Attachment 4(h) has an inconsistent mixed-use cross-reference. EO 23 later permits controlled updates; the current version and individual project decisions require separate review. The chart does not isolate this action’s effect.
